M2 Fishing LLC is proud to announce the acquisition of the American Bass Association (ABA). We are deeply grateful to Craig, Natanya, Jason, and Kaytlin, who have dedicated themselves to this great sport and organization for over four decades. Their commitment has built a legacy, and we are truly humbled by the opportunity to carry it forward.

The American Bass Association holds a unique place in West Coast bass fishing, and we could not be more excited about what the future holds.

For our anglers and regional directors, it remains business as usual. Our immediate priority is to listen, learn, and work together with the people who make ABA strong. We will build on the organization’s established foundation while exploring new ideas and opportunities that benefit anglers, directors, partners, fans, and the entire bass fishing community.

M2 Fishing has experienced tremendous growth over the past several seasons. By bringing M2 Fishing and ABA together, we are confident we can deliver even more outstanding events, expand opportunities, and strengthen tournament bass fishing throughout the West Coast and beyond.

To the M2 Fishing Staff and ABA Regional Directors: Thank you for everything you do. This organization succeeds because of your dedication, hard work, and passion.

To our anglers, fans, families, and supporters: Thank you for your continued support. The next chapter of American Bass begins now, and we look forward to sharing it with you.
